And the unbelievable Dan Fleeman has even had a kneecap removed 4 years ago to shave weight:
"Dan Fleeman, a 20-year-old Elite rider and member of Team Lichfield was seriously injured by a motorist whilst out training last Wednesday. Dan had been interval training and was on his way home at around midday when a motorist pulled out on him in the village of Armitage, near Lichfield. Dan suffered severe damage to both his legs and was rushed to hospital in Burton upon Trent. X-rays revealed that he had smashed both kneecaps and an operation on Friday resulted in one being wired up and the other being completely removed."
